Question of the Day (with poll): Can they take the 'Community' out of Jackson Community College?

Officials at Jackson Community College are looking at that shortened name to reflect their school's changing identity. JCC is about to offer bachelor's degrees and has undergone considerable changes in recent years.

"Keeping our name as it is doesn't signal that anything has changed here, but we are undergoing huge changes," JCC Vice President Cindy Allen told reporter Leanne Smith for a story. "Things are happening that are transforming us into something much bigger."

Readers have had varying reactions to the idea, with some agreeing and others questioning the need for, or benefit from, a new name.

"The purpose of these institutions is to get people into a four year institution, or to get them a trade. Not to affront themselves as an organization higher than what they really are," wrote Eric Spence.
